It Won’t Break My Heart

It won't break my heart at all
Not to see the East Coast sunrise
Climbing over that ladder's rung
Where the sky meets sea
It won't break my heart at all
Not to sit and watch the children
Running down a twilight street
On an autumn's eve

It won't break my heart at all
Not to see a shooting star run
Never knowing where it's going
But racing unafraid
It won't break my heart at all
Not to hear the Christmas carols
That rise from voices on the wind
On a cold December day

Although the wonders of this life
Have embraced me
I've grown quite sure
That nothing could comparе
To Canaan's land
That's why when this ship surrenders
To thе gentle Jordan tide
It won't break my heart
To leave this world behind

It won't break my heart at all
Not to hear sweet music weeping
From guitars and mandolins
On the square of my hometown
It won't break my heart at all
Not to hear the subtle whispers
That speak on lazy summer nights
When the sun is going down

For though the wonders of this life
Have embraced me
I've grown quite sure
That nothing could compare
To Canaan's land
That's why when this ship surrenders
To the gentle Jordan tide
It won't break my heart
To leave this world behind
It won't break my heart
To leave this world behind, oh...
